The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

"The New Creation Has Come: Forever with the Lord"

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”  (2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV).

The Lord Jehovah grants us to be a new creation, but not because we deserve it.  We are not granted a new creation because we deserve it but because of His glory and grace.

The Lord Omnipotent saves to the uttermost because Jesus Christ saves that which is lost.  We just need to repent and believe the gospel or good news.  This is simply means obedience to God's commands.  Everyone who contritely repents goes to heaven but we are not saved by repentance but by Christ alone by the Father's will through His Holy Spirit.

It's the joy of repentance that is awesome and wonderful.  That is, we can only be obedient to God's commands by His grace, glory and Spirit.  This positive consequences to God's commands is because of the regeneration of the Spirit of holiness and the Word of God.
